What color is Benjamin Moore Jester?
Benjamin Moore Jester CC-34 is a deep, muted plum with a noticeable wine-red cast and a softly shadowed finish. Its low-light depth makes it especially effective for a dining room, study, powder room, or a dramatic bedroom wall. In brighter daylight, Jester can show more of its dusky berry tone, while evening lighting brings forward its brownish-purple richness. Pair it with warm off-whites, faded blush, charcoal, or natural oak to keep the color grounded. It also suits painted cabinetry or a front door when a dark neutral would feel too plain.

LRV of Jester
Jester has an LRV of 6.87% and refers to Dark colors which means that this color almost does not reflect light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 6.87%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
